‘The Ambassador’, is a short film featuring veteran actor, Wynn Roberts (from Picnic At Hanging Rock) as a man who writes to the Minister for the Environment to advocate for the forests and the animals that live in them.
The film is built around real events: Wynn has lived much of his 95 years in the forest. It also references climate change, ongoing logging, the staggering loss of wildlife during the recent mega fires and showcases wildlife from the southeast forests. The film won the 2020 BVSC Best Environment Film Award.
